        Douchbag it’s the reality Slavs from Baltic have this features the others from Balkan have different face you’re always proving you don’t know anything about races and made your beliefs on rumors, steretypes and personal thoughts not on reality.
        How can you know it you’re a non Euro living outside Europe you don’t know how we Euros are made we come in many shapes.
